Admirer of Paul Raj Paintings

My Photo
I lived in India as a child and spent a lot of time in Calcutta. My mother purchased several paintings directly from Paul Raj while living in Madras and this got me interested in his works. I then discovered he had two brothers Arul Raj and Thyaga Raj who were both fantastic artists. I could not find much information on the internet so decided to set up my own blog. Subsequently a Facebook tribute site has also been created to the memory of the three brothers. Paul was born in Kodaikanal on 22 September 1914 and died on 2 October 1979. G D Arulraj was born in 1925 and died in June 1972. Arul worked in the USA in Laguna Beach in the 1960's and 1970's. G D Thyagaraj might have been born in 1922 and I am told that he probably died sometime before 1981. He moved to northern India as a young man. I can be contacted on the following email address. rajbrothers(use the 'at' sign here)hotmail(dot)co(dot)uk Just trying to get rid of the huge amount of junk mail I am getting from Africa since I added an email address. Not sure if this will help stop it?

This is a painting by G D Arulraj of two young women waking down a road carrying wicker baskets.  It has nice bright colours and the usual large tree in the foreground.
